Was able to put the first coat of wax on the new paint yesterday. Will be nice not to be on a constant birdshit watch. More to come on products and process when I can get out there to take some pics. It's just to damn hot. Now Storms.

Also you may notice that the new rims came in. I think the white goes very well with the new paint. 30 days till I can put any wax on since the paint needs to fully cure.

Here we have the other side. In the future I plan to relocate the gas fill and add another intake to the engine bay. Really sitting low now with the new rims. I'm thinking about increasing the offset and getting a wide fender kit. That will look sick.

Just drove her home yesterday. A little bit of rust around both rear arches and a 21 year old interior are the only issues with the car.

For those who may not know, this is a 1989 Toyota MR2. The car came in two types of engines, N/A and SC.

Recently the original engine went through some issues, the previous owner decided to swap in this 4th generation Jspec 4AGZE. Just about 1000 miles on the rebuild now.

The interior needs some work. Spent today cleaning out the dirt. I have some replacement vinyl/leather in the mail and will be reupholstering soon.

The next stop will be to have the rust professionally removed for good and a repaint back to it's original super-rare stock color, Ice Blue Pearl.
